New schemes have been proposed for the structural classification of carbon phases and nanostructures. These schemes are based on the types of chemical bonds formed in materials and on the number of nearest neighbors with which each atom forms covalent bonds. The classification schemes allow one to describe the already known phases and form the methodological basis for the prediction of new phases and nanostructures.
